Bybit Heist Fuels Record Crypto-Theft Surge, Says CertiK

Crypto Theft Reaches All-Time High in Q1 2025

The first quarter of 2025 has seen a significant increase in crypto theft, with hackers stealing over $1.67 billion in digital assets across 197 security incidents. This marks a 303% increase from the previous quarter, making it the highest amount of digital assets stolen in history.

The Bybit Hack

The surge in crypto theft was largely driven by the Bybit hack, which CertiK described as a “critical inflection point in Web3 security.” This hack was the most significant crypto theft in history, resulting in a loss of millions of dollars in digital assets. Other breaches included Phemex, 0xInfini, and MIM Spell, further contributing to the overall increase in crypto theft.

Industry Impact

According to CertiK’s Hack3d: Q1 2025 Report, the average loss per incident was $9,549,339, with a median loss per incident of $66,303. Despite efforts to recover stolen funds, only a small percentage (less than 0.4%) was returned to customers, highlighting the challenges of combating crypto theft.

Top Target: Ethereum

Ethereum emerged as the top target for hackers, with 98 security incidents leading to $1,540,843,886 in losses. Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Arbitrum, and Tron were also among the cryptocurrencies and blockchains affected by crypto theft during the first quarter of 2025.

Most Lucrative Attack Vector

Wallet compromise was identified as the most lucrative attack vector, enabling hackers to steal $1.45 billion across three cyber incidents. Phishing campaigns and code vulnerabilities were the most common methods used by hackers, with phishing accounting for 81 incidents and code vulnerabilities for 68 incidents.

Enhancing Security Measures

Ronghui Gu, CertiK Co-Founder, emphasized the importance of investing in robust security measures to combat the increasingly sophisticated techniques used by hackers. He highlighted the need for a comprehensive, multi-layered approach, including code audits, formal verification, real-time monitoring, incident response plans, vulnerability assessments, and employee awareness training.

It is crucial for blockchain businesses and projects to prioritize security as a shared responsibility within the industry. By implementing proactive security measures, the industry can work towards mitigating the risks associated with crypto theft and safeguarding digital assets.
